Trailer Park Expansion
Nottingham
We delivered cost-effective and sustainable engineering solutions, minimised earthworks and enhanced the project’s environmental performance.
What we did
Geo-environmental Engineering
Our team undertook a Ground Investigation, and interpreted the data to inform the preparation of an earthworks specification. We also provided a materials management plan and verification reports
for the site works.
Civil Engineering
Our scope included the design of a new external yard slab for the storage of trailers and steel awaiting delivery to site following customisation in the workshop. As part of these works, we designed a surface water attenuation basin, the diversion of an existing watercourse and obtained approval
from the Lead Local Flood Authority for culverts and a new headwall.
Delivering Sustainability
Surface water drainage was restricted to greenfield rates before flowing into a nearby watercourse. A full retention separator was included in the surface water system to protect the receiving watercourse from potential fuel and oil spills. The attenuation basin provides storage for storms up to and including the 1 in 100 year event plus an allowance for climate change. The basin was designed with micropools to enhance bio-diversity and treatment of the surface water. Excess topsoil was utilised in a bund and in the new park area to improve the landscaping.
Adding value
We provided a cost effective design and value engineering of products throughout the works in conjunction with Contractors proposals. The external slab was designed to minimise earthworks.
“Rodgers Leask were brought onto the project to take it from RIBA stage 3 through construction to completion. This went without fault, with the project team working collaboratively to successfully deliver a fantastic project.”
